Longde Palace, outside the painting room!
"Dad, open the door! Listen to me! Luoyang is bordered by Mount Song to the east, Funiu Mountains to the south, the Qinling Mountains to the west, and Taihang Mountains to the north. It also boasts the natural barrier of the Yellow River, so it's definitely safer than the south of the Yangtze River..."
"I really don't mean to cheat you, didn't you hear me? I'll also send Crown Prince Zhao Chen over..."
"No, I don't want to cheat my son..."
"Dad, if you don't open the door, I'm going to unleash my ultimate move. First, I'm going to have the Auspicious Dragon Stone in Funing Hall blown up, then I'm going to slaughter all the animals in Yujin Garden and eat their meat. And I'm going to take all your treasured paintings of flowers and birds, auspicious cranes, listening to the zither, and Along the River During the Qingming Festival and use them for fuel. Oh, and I'm going to have your erotic paintings displayed in the market..."
"Fuck, you rebellious son! If you dare to touch my treasure, I will beat you to death!"
Song Huizong attacked angrily, causing the wooden door to slam with a loud bang. He then hit Zhao Huan with a feather duster in his hand.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Song Huizong stopped the feather duster in his hand, looked at Zhao Huan who did not dodge at all, and no longer had the intention to fight him anymore.
"You stupid monkey, you're so naughty, why didn't you just dodge? Did it hurt?"
"It's all swollen, tell me if it hurts!"
Zhao Huan rolled up his sleeves with a grin, revealing red and swollen marks.
"Humph! It hurts, but you still don't hide."
"Did you teach me to stand at attention when I get beaten?"
Song Huizong snorted coldly. He felt a little guilty about Zhao Huan's obedience in taking the beating.
Song Huizong seemed to see Zhao Huan as a child again, still as lively, cheerful and mischievous as before.
"Come in!"
Song Huizong looked at the "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" on the wall, but he lost interest in writing again.
"To be honest, I'm sorry for you. You've been the crown prince for so many years, but I never taught you how to govern the country."
"Dad, you'd better stop teaching me. The Song Dynasty is almost being destroyed by you. It's a miracle that it can survive until now..."
"Rebellious son, what did you say?"
"Dad, Dad, don't be angry, I'm just telling the truth, right?"
"Do you think your father is useless?"
"That's not the case. You have many talents, and there's one that I envy so much I'm almost crying."
"Oh?" Song Huizong became interested.
"Which one?"
"It's a meticulous painting, so realistic. Dad, how did you come up with the idea of using meticulous brushwork to draw erotic pictures? Others still use abstract action lines, but yours is already realistic, high-definition and uncensored."
"You unfilial son, you unfilial son, you are the most shameless!"
"It was clearly you who drew this, how can I be considered shameless? Ah, it hurts, it hurts, I was wrong, I am shameless, please stop hitting me..."
"Dad, have a drink."
"Tons! Tons! Tons!"
Song Huizong drank a large bowl of wine in one gulp.
"Dad, you are the emperor, you should be more graceful. You drink like a hero."
"Just shut up. If you can't speak properly, don't say anything. I used to be so bad at getting anything done, but now I think it's actually pretty good."
Five minutes later.
"Speak up, why are you here if you don't speak?"
"You're the one who shut me up."
"grass……"
"I haven't finished this painting of vast rivers and mountains for so many years. When I encounter difficulties in conception, I sometimes blame Taizu, asking why Emperor Taizong conquered such a vast empire, yet it is so difficult for me to paint such a painting."
"You call this big? Do you know about Europe? Do you know about North and South America? Do you know about Australia?... How can you be an artist with such a narrow vision? If I showed you a world map, would you only be able to paint this one thing in your life?"
Zhao Huan thought to himself, my father is so pitiful.
"Now, look what's happening. Cities and territories are like gifts to the Jin people, lost in an instant. It's all my fault. The kingdom I left you is unstable, and the ministers I left you are disloyal. The people all say that treacherous ministers are in power. I asked in the court who the treacherous minister was, and they actually said it was Li Gang, saying that Li Gang was the great traitor..."
"Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous..."
"The Song Dynasty is gone, and keeping this map of the vast landscape is just a joke..."
Song Huizong suddenly stood up excitedly, drew his sword, and chopped the painting of vast rivers and mountains into pieces.
“Bang!”
"Woo! Woo! Woo!"
The long sword fell out of his hand, and Song Huizong squatted in the corner of the table and burst into tears.
"Dad, Dad, choosing me as emperor is the wisest decision you've ever made. Those Jin Tartars won't be able to take even a single inch of the Song Dynasty's land..."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, my perfection will surely make everyone tremble. I already have three strategies to repel the enemy, so you can rest assured. Now all I need is for you to go to Luoyang and take charge of the important matters."
Zhao Huan pulled out a piece of rice paper and drew a large oval on it with a brush.
"Dad, let me teach you some geography knowledge so that you won't be so cute for the rest of your life."
The place we live in is called the Earth. It is a big sphere, just like the sun we see during the day and the moon we see at night.
"Nonsense! The sky is round and the earth is square. Our ancestors have been saying this for thousands of years. How could they be wrong? If it were a big sphere like you said, wouldn't everyone on the other side fall off?"
"hehe……"
I just like to see you being ignorant and unaware. If I don’t explain it to you, you won’t understand the law of gravity even if I tell you.
"71% of this globe is covered by ocean, and the remaining 29% is land. This land is divided into seven continents. The area where Song, Jin, Xixia, Goryeo, and Fusang are located is called Asia."
